Kyrie Irving might be able to play home games for the Nets again soon

Kyrie Irving could play home games for the Nets again when New York City lifts its vaccine mandate.

New York City mayor Eric Adams was asked on Wednesday if the city plans to lift its vaccine restrictions like Boston and Philadelphia. Adams said he doesn’t plan to get ahead of the science, but he “can’t wait to get it done,” promising a “real transformation.”

Irving, who remains steadfastly unvaccinated, has been unable to play home games for the Nets this season.

“I will say that he’s been extremely locked in,” Nets coach Steve Nash said Wednesday after practice, according to ESPN.
